considered as the first phase of development. The second
phase is defined by the adoption of three Master plans (GUP).
The first Master plan of the city of Zenica was adopted in 1955
as a possible solution for the housing crisis and unorganized
urban expansion. This urban plan was followed by a second
and third in 1966 and 1983. The urban development lasted
